GO BACK TO YOUR HOUSE!!! GO HOME FOR GODS SAKE"

When it comes to developing your financial strategy and safeguarding your small business’s financial future, you may find yourself facing this common dilemma: You need expert financial guidance and support, but you don’t yet have the budget or resources to hire a full-time, in-house, fully qualified financial team. 

If that problem sounds familiar, you’re not alone. As many as 80% of early-stage small businesses operate without a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) or controller in place. And unfortunately, what they don’t have can seriously cost them. That’s why an outsourced CFO or financial controller can be one of the most valuable — and cost-effective — financial strategy investments you can make in your small business.

CFOs Should Embrace Gen AI’s Potential and Encourage Innovation, Not Obsess Over Its Cost or Likely Scale of Impact

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/cfos-should-embrace-gen-ais-potential-and-encourage-innovation-not-obsess-over-its-cost-or-likely-scale-of-impact/

CFOs Should Embrace Gen AI’s Potential and Encourage Innovation, Not Obsess Over Its Cost or Likely Scale of Impact

The breathless publicity surrounding Gen-AI often makes it difficult for CFOs to avoid the conventional approach of obsessing about the costs of Gen-AI adoption or its likely scale of impact in the near-term. However, I believe the time has come for CFOs to break with convention and become advocates for the technology within their organizations, for three reasons:

The role of the CFO is expanding beyond just financial stewardship to strategic leadership

The business case for Gen-AI adoption in Finance has improved

Not embracing Gen-AI now could lead to competitive risk, as Gen-AI could very quickly evolve from a novelty to a necessity, much like Cloud did previously

Role of the CFO

The first reason for CFOs to break with their conventional approach to Gen-AI is the inherent expansion of the CFO’s role in an enterprise. In one recent study, 85% of CFOs said they expect to play a more significant role in shaping business strategy. On average, the study found, financial leaders spend more than four hours each day on nontraditional CFO activities—tech decisions, talent management, strategic planning and more.

CEOs are looking to CFOs to not just manage the financial health of an organization, but also to drive innovation and transformation. Gen-AI will undoubtedly play a critical role in the next wave of enterprise transformation – both from a productivity and innovation perspective, and it would be beneficial for CFOs to gain experience early on with the capabilities of this technology, to play their expanded role more effectively.

Business case for Gen-AI adoption

The business case for Gen-AI adoption has improved recently. The dollar cost of pilot projects today is relatively low in relation to the benefits of testing Gen-AI’s potential. This is due to the large number of Finance use cases that Gen-AI is suited for (e.g., automated data management, contract reviews, forecasting and scenario analysis, report creation, risk & compliance management), and a proliferation of recently launched tools that address several of these use cases.

While these tools are still nascent, recent surveys show that CFOs that have adopted Gen-AI tools are already seeing significant, measurable impact. In a recent survey of 375 CFOs across multiple sectors, over three-quarters (76%) said they have “noted significant gains in efficiency and process speed,” and  68% said they have seen “accuracy and error reduction” due to the adoption of Gen-AI tools. Finally, more than a third (36%) said that “generative AI is already adding value and impacting their revenue streams,” and another 40% said that they were “expecting it to do so within a year.”

Risk of inaction

Not embracing Gen-AI now could lead to competitive risk. It’s important to remember that not all hyped technologies disappoint. Consider cloud, another technology that was hyped early on but went on to become a crucial component of enterprise computing. In 2010, enterprise concerns around cloud adoption included cost and security. By 2015, however, the technology was a business staple, “a safe bet.” The pandemic then cemented the adoption of cloud, spurring companies to exceed their adoption schedule by up to seven years. Gen-AI similarly, could very quickly evolve from a novelty to a necessity, and early adopters will enjoy a competitive advantage.

Recent surveys by Gartner highlight the increased competitive risk of inaction. In their survey on Gen-AI adoption in 2023 Gartner found that “other administrative functions such as HR, legal and procurement were twice as likely to be using or scaling AI solutions compared to the finance function.” However, in the same survey conducted in September 2024, “the gap is almost non-existent.” In this poll of 121 finance leaders across industries, Gartner found that “58% of respondents said their teams were using AI, an increase of 21 percentage points from 2023.” Further, Gartner found that “of the 42% of finance functions that aren’t currently using AI, half are planning implementation.”

Next steps

Success factors for any major tech initiative include motivation and methodology. As outlined above, the expanding role of CFOs, the improved business case for Gen-AI adoption in Finance, and the competitive risk of inaction, should serve as sufficient motivation. As for a methodology to help start the organization down a productive gen AI path while also performing their traditional role as fiscal steward, there are several steps CFOs can take now:

Encourage manageable pilot projects: By supporting a small-scale pilot, CFOs can demonstrate their grasp of generative AI’s importance—and set themselves up to help create the budget, adjudicate the project’s success, and, if appropriate, scale the initiative.

Fund useful innovation: There’s always risk that IT groups and others will treat a new technology like a shiny toy. In the case of gen AI, CFOs should ameliorate this risk by rewarding only use cases that genuinely advance the interests of the business.

Find an experienced partner: A global talent shortage is one of the top inhibitors slowing gen AI adoption. CFOs should consider partnering with a tech provider that can provide the skills needed to successfully implement the technology; at this point in the development of generative AI, this will likely prove more affordable and achievable than provisioning talent in-house.

Naturally, CFOs must be mindful of their duties to stakeholders—but where generative AI is concerned, an unconventional approach can encourage experimentation and innovation, drive growth, and serve as a bridge for the expanding role of financial leaders.

Still standing

On the afternoon of April 14th, a hacker using a UK IP address exploited an out-of-date software package on one of 4chan's servers, via a bogus PDF upload. With this entry point, they were eventually able to gain access to one of 4chan's servers, including database access and access to our own administrative dashboard. The hacker spent several hours exfiltrating database tables and much of 4chan's source code. When they had finished downloading what they wanted, they began to vandalize 4chan at which point moderators became aware and 4chan's servers were halted, preventing further access.

Over the following days, 4chan's development team surveyed the damage, which to be frank, was catastrophic. While not all of our servers were breached, the most important one was, and it was due to simply not updating old operating systems and code in a timely fashion. Ultimately this problem was caused by having insufficient skilled man-hours available to update our code and infrastructure, and being starved of money for years by advertisers, payment providers, and service providers who had succumbed to external pressure campaigns.

We had begun a process of speccing new servers in late 2023. As many have suspected, until that time 4chan had been running on a set of servers purchased second-hand by moot a few weeks before his final Q&A, as prior to then we simply were not in a financial position to consider such a large purchase. Advertisers and payment providers willing to work with 4chan are rare, and are quickly pressured by activists into cancelling their services. Putting together the money for new equipment took nearly a decade.

In April of 2024 we had agreed on specs and began looking for possible suppliers. Money is always tight for us, and few companies were willing to sell us servers, so actually buying the hardware wasn’t a trivial problem. We managed to finalize a purchase in June, and had the new servers racked and online in July. Over the next few months we slowly moved functionality onto the new servers, but we had still been relying on the old servers for key functions. Everything about this process took much longer than intended, which is a recurring theme in this debacle. The free time that 4chan's development team had available to dedicate to 4chan was insufficient to update our software and infrastructure fast enough, and our luck ran out.

However, we have not been idle during our nearly two weeks of downtime. The server that was breached has been replaced, with the operating system and code updated to the latest versions. PDF uploads have been temporarily disabled on those boards that supported them, but they will be back in the near future. One slow but much beloved board, /f/ - Flash, will not be returning however, as there is no realistic way to prevent similar exploits using .swf files. We are bringing on additional volunteer developers to help keep up with the workload, and our team of volunteer janitors & moderators remains united despite the grievous violations some have suffered to their personal privacy.

4chan is back. No other website can replace it, or this community. No matter how hard it is, we are not giving up.
